Introduction

James Q. Wilson (as cited by Swanson, Territo, & Taylor, 2017) identified three distinctly different styles of law enforcement, all of which were reflective of the political culture of the communities they served.

  • The watchman style of law enforcement emphasizes order maintenance and is found in economically declining cities with traditional political machines.
  • The legalistic style is found in cities with heterogeneous populations and reform-oriented, professional governments.
  • The service style is found in homogenous suburban communities and is oriented toward the needs of citizens.
